Report: Louisville Forward Devin Ree to Enter Transfer Portal

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The roster overhaul for the Louisville men's basketball program is now in full swing.

True freshman forward Devin Ree will be entering his name into the transfer portal, according to 24/7 High School Hoops. He will have three years of eligibility at his next stop.

Ree is the second player to announce his intentions to enter the portal, joining true freshman forward Kamari Lands, who announced earlier today. The news also comes just three days following the end of the Cardinals' season.

Due to NCAA legislation adopted this past August, Ree cannot officially enter the portal until Monday. Players can no longer enter the portal any time they want, and have just a 60-day window starting the day after Selection Sunday to do so.

The 6-foot-8, 180-pound wing had a minuscule among of playing time in his lone season at Louisville. His 16 games played and 4.2 minutes per game were both the lowest amongst Louisville's 11 scholarship players to be with the team for the entire season. He totaled only 14 points and 10 rebounds for the year.

The Jackson, Miss. native had formerly been signed with LSU, until he requested to be released from his National Letter of Intent following Will Wade's firing. Ranked as the No. 85 prospect in the Class of 2022 by 247Sports, Ree was the first high school prospect to commit to Kenny Payne.

Ree was billed as one of the top shooters in the 2022 class. He had an extremely productive junior year for Terry (Miss.) HS, averaging 23.2 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. He transferred to Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy for his senior season, where he averaged 11.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, and shot 48.1 percent from the field plus 44.7 percent on three-point attempts.

Ree and Lands will likely not be the last Louisville player to enter the transfer portal. Under first-year head coach Kenny Payne, the Cardinals finished their 2022-23 campaign with an overall record of just 4-28 and 2-18 in ACC play, setting the program record for most losses in a single season.
